RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Error message

Description of problem:

When network is done, "auto-attach" button says 
  "Error subscribing".

Other button ("All available subscriptions" -> "Load") says 
  "Network problem, unable to connect to server, ...".

More specific message similar the above one could be helpfull.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Client release 6.7 (Santiago)
: server type                      Red Hat Subscription Management
: subscription management server   0.9.51.15-1
: subscription management rules    5.15.1

: python-rhsm                      1.16.6-1.el6


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. I register a system with success. 
2. I set wrong server.hostname.
   sed -i 's/^hostname[ \t]*=[ \t].*$/hostname = some.wrong/' /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf;
3. I run subscription-manager-gui

When I click on "Auto-attach" button.
then I see message "Error subscribing"
 

Actual results:

I see message "Error subscribing".

Expected results:

The message is not wrong. But could be more detailed.
Similar to message that gives button "Load":
"Network error, unable to connect server, please see ...".
